What the check covers for Downfield brands
Send your artwork or draft copy. We review it against the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, the food information rules and the GB nutrition and health claims register, and send back a written report with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, not just our own.

Questions from Downfield brands
Who checks supplement labels in Cumbria?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Cumbria, with national oversight from the Food Standards Agency. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Do you send samples?
Yes. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Downfield address, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.
What does the report look like?
A written report, with every point marked fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Do I need to be based in Downfield to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Downfield deliveries go by tracked courier to LA12.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We check against both sets of rules. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
